Upcoming and GIVEAWAY: David Sedaris, October 23, Fisher Theatre, Detroit {ends 4/24}


*Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own.

 David Sedaris will be doing a reading at the Fisher Theatre on Wednesday, October 23rd, and I'm super excited about it! I have seen him twice, both times in Ann Arbor, and I also got to meet him in-person once during a book signing. His books are hilarious and I've enjoyed most of the ones I've read.

More details:
WDET presents An Evening with David Sedaris, author of the previous bestsellers Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and regular National Public Radio contributor will be appearing for one night only at the Fisher Theatre on Wednesday, October 23, 2019 at 7:30pm, following the release of his newest book & New York Times #1 Best Seller, Calypso.

 This is a unique opportunity to see the best-selling humorist in an intimate setting. As always, Sedaris will be offering a selection of all-new readings and recollections, as well as a Q&A session and book signing.

David Sedaris returns to the road following the release of his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious collection, Calypso. Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny-it’s a book that can make you laugh ’til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris’s powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future.

If you love David Sedaris’s cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you’re getting into at his live readings. You’d be wrong. To see him read his own work on stage allows his autobiographical narrative to reveal a uniquely personal narrative that will keep you laughing throughout the evening. Don’t miss this event!

All seats at the Fisher Theatre are reserved, and range in price from $51 to $66 and are subject to additional taxes and fees. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 19, 2019 at www.DavidSedarisOnTour.com.

Review: Polar Pizza at Baskin-Robbins

*Disclosure: I received a gift card to try the new Polar Pizza at Baskin-Robbins. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. Baskin-Robbins launched its Polar Pizza last month (July), as I talked about in my recent post about them, and because this past month was crazy busy for me, I didn't get to try the Polar Pizza until this past Sunday. My parents and I went to the combined Dunkin' Donuts / Baskin-Robbins near them, in Novi, MI, to split one of the ice cream pizzas.
